Because Uranus is 1,764.8 million miles from the sun, and its thick atmosphere, it only gets 1/333 the sunlight of earth.
Uranus has a pole that faces the sun due to its unique tilt in its axial rotation. This causes its poles to experience long periods of sunlight (about 42 years each) followed by long periods of darkness.

Since Uranus has a 92% tilt on its axis, the sun sets every 42 years. One side of Uranus faces the sun for 42 years while the other side faces darkness at the same time. Then when 42 years go by, this reverses.
The North Pole gets less direct sunlight than Georgia.
If you stand at the North Pole of Uranus (you'd not you'd sink right down) you could see the sun on the horizon.

Well, its north pole is not north and the south pole is not south.
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.

The equator receives more direct light sunlight than the north pole.
It is because it is at the northern hemisphere so when then northen hemisphere gets the sunlight it is whith the north pole
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unusual tilt causes extreme seasonal variations on Uranus, where one pole can be in constant sunlight while the other experiences continuous darkness for long periods.
Well, whats unusual about Uranus is that its axis (the imaginary ine through it) is on its side, unlike Earth, since its axis is somewhere near, and really NEAR the North pole to somewhere in the south pole. So it's like Uranus's south pole is on its side and its North pole on its other side. Because of this, I can't remember the reason for this, but because of this Uranus has extreme weather conditions. Scientists think that some thing might of extremely big knocked into Uranus but little enough to not destroy Uranus.
